Follow Friday and Blog Hop - Sept. 3rd



Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee's View. Head on over there to check out this week's featured blog. This week's question is:

What is your favorite brick and mortar bookstore?

I'll admit, I'm a Barnes and Noble girl. There are a few other little bookstores around where I live, but there's a huge B&N 20 minutes from my house that has a cafe in it and I love going there. The smell of coffee, pastries, and books....it's fabulous. I could disappear in there for hours.
Book Blogger Hop


The Blog Hop is hosted by Crazy for Books. This week's question is:

Do you judge a book by its cover?

My answer is yes, I do, but it's mostly when I'm looking around online or in a bookstore for something new. If I hear about the book first, then I like to see how the cover looks compared to what I've heard about the story, but it's not as...influential. But I love book covers, so they definitely play a part in what books catch my attention and which ones I want to know more about. But, I will say that I've read plenty of books that were fabulous that had lack luster covers, so I know to not let it sway me too much.

    Hi :) I'm the same when I'm scanning the shelf for new books. There have been times I've put things back only to months later buy the book. I guess it depends on the mood I'm in.

    Hope you have a fun weekend :) Hope you Hop by my site

    Hopping by....

    And also seeing your "Follow Friday" post...my favorite brick & mortar bookstore is any rare & used bookstore that is still in business. Since I'm a Golden Age Mysteries junkie (original editions, please), that's the only way I can get them from a "real" bookstore rather than the interwebs.

    Hey there...new follower. I agree with you that covers make a difference, but lots of good books have bad covers.

    I do pick up a book because of its cover...not necessarily buy it, but it does make me pick it up and check it out.

    Hopping by.
